    Sack the players too then. If they hadn't bottled it in the first place then NB would still be here!

    Although half expected this I am actually shocked by the outcome. We all know where we want to be & hopefully the Allams do too. I just hope they know what the are doing.
    If this is the truth or if the actual truth never comes out I feel let down as a fan.

    Will be interesting to hear what Nicky has to say Mel but they seem to suggest that he was sacked for speaking his mind.

    The Allams saved the club and spent £millions doing it, they have a right to expect some loyalty, common sense from their high profile manager (call it what you will) they have the right to sack him.
    I don't like it but the club will move on and I hope, will be successful. Don't start shouting Allams out whatever you do they might just go and take their money with them. They've had a couple of set backs with the club ,I dont think it would take much for them to say good bye.

    Under employment law Nick cannot make a claim. He was not employed in the post long enough. His player contract was ended when he became the manager, with a new contract. He has no entitlement and he will not get any. It may not be right but that is it.

    And as for all of the sacrificail "never going again" statements, who is kidding who? There will be a queue forming outside the KC now of managers. Lets not get carried away.

    the worst part for me is they've basically labelled Barmby a liar, which I refuse to believe is the case (everyone will make up their own mind because let's face it - we're never going to hear the real truth). In doing so, this could affect his future working life, and quite frankly it's disgusting.

    Their investment doesn't make this right, like we should be scared of them walking away if we don't tow the line? I can't see any protests about this coming but people are wary now thats for sure.

    Since when did a manager get sacked and not get compensated?

    He has a contract, if it's terminated, then that contract has to be paid off.

    He ****ing better be paid off, he's been shafted enough as it is.

    I posted myself before that I can't go to a lot of games because I have a disability which affects me from day-to-day so there would be no point me making any statement like that, but I admire people who stick to their principles, can't see it happening though. Too many have the attitude that this is football and thats what happens. Poor Nicky hope he gets another chance somewhere else, what a way to be treated by a club who you have given loyal service to.

    On reflection the players will accept this - thjey are contracted to Hull City Football Club and are paid to perform accordingly. If they have any problem with this they can hand in a transfer request (most unlikely these days) and only the Club will decide whether or not to accept this or indeed decide to move them on to a competitor.

    To quote Harry Redknapp recently, some players don't even know where the team bus is heading for an away day let alone bother about who's managing the Club.

    why is everyone so outraged lol

    he contradicted the owners, sounds like his stubborness to sign a striker then try and insinuate that no funds where available cost him, very naive id say, does the term dont bite the hand that feeds not apply to sir nick

    he isnt bigger than this football club, and cant act and say what he likes which hes just found out.

    You will no doubt have a few of our lot wumming in due course. For me it's rather sad -I think he has a lot of a potential and we need good young English managers (in my view particularly if they were also gifted players) - hope yu appoint Billy Davies - I wanted him for us when Sven left - a man that can definitely create a team that can challenge, even if the owners don't give him much money - as he proved consistently with Forest. Good luck.

    Maybe better to hear what he has to say rather than believe what we've heard from the Egyptians?

    If you don't believe what the insiders on here say then I disagree but that's fine.

    But what do you suggest was Barmby's motive for saying money wasn't available if it actually was? Why would he make it up?

    In the offending interview it was Burnsy who asked him directly if money had been available. He didn't directly state that there was no money as such (he said 'we needed to be a bit cuter' and tried to avoid the question) but it was obvious what he meant. It was a live interview so there was no hiding from the question and he had to just try and answer it the best he could do on the spot. If the owners wanted him to lie for them they should really have had some sort of contingency plan for if someone interviewing him figures out what is going on and asks him directly. What did they want him to say in that situation?

    As for the football not being good enough, that, like everything else, goes back to not buying players in January.

    I really hope you're right but I can't see it. Why would people be queueing up to work for us now? We aren't seen as a big club, we aren't paying big money to anyone, the owners are looking very dodgy when it comes to transfer funds and they are willing sack you the second you make a slight mistake. Out of work managers like McCarthy and Davies aren't poor, they don't need to come here and we don't have Nick to fall back on any more.

    Despite two completely random but pretty large discussions, some just don't learn <laugh>
